[|Common Core State Standards]

The Common Core State Standards is a state- led initiative by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The standards were created by teachers, administrators, and experts, to issue a clear and consistent framework that would prepare students for productive futures and higher education. The Common Core Standards are an instrumental part in planning our instruction. As teachers, we need to be informed of the knowledge and skills that every child needs to know as well as how to deliver these instructions. The Standards outline specific areas of study that teachers can adapt to plans and methods that they find most beneficial in their classrooms. This way, teachers and students all learn the same ideals but to their strengths based on the teachers lesson design. The standards promote high quality education and produce successful students in all content areas. Common core standards have been written for English Language arts and Mathematics and are currently being processed for science. Each standard is designed to build off of one another whether it is from grade level to grade level to reading to writing to speaking. All of the standards are interconnected in some way so that students may adapt these patters and better master these skills and knowledge. The Common Core Standards also has made accommodations for those working with special needs or English Language Learners. With The Common Core Standards, students receive the same information and tools to make a more unified school system, community, and state. No Child is left behind when we learn and practice the same ideals of education.
